Facebook!

I bit the bullet.Number one: I went back to school today after a three week vacation.Number two. I started a Facebook page for this blog.It's going to be an amazing day - I can feel it. Not to mention, The Bachelor premieres tonight and with that, Talk About It Tuesdays will be back, too. I know. I can hardly contain my excitement either. It doesn't matter at all that The Bachelor is what got me out of bed this morning, either. Whatever works, people, right? Okay, back to number two. I did it. I started a Facebook page for my blog. In much the same way that I felt pressured to begin my endeavor on Teachers Pay Teachers, here goes another adventure.I would love to say that I have the greatest things in mind for my Facebook page and that I am going to blow your socks right off. But I don't. I just have a couple of ideas. Like talking about reality TV and possibly wine . . . so it's best if you keep your socks on and I'll just wing it as I usually do. And throw in some teaching stuff for good measure. In order to have a Facebook page, I apparently need people to read it, follow it, talk about it, tattoo it, stamp it, share it, etc.SO - that's where you come in. I'm teaming up with my bestie, Hadar of Miss Kindergarten, and we're doing a joint giveaway!You can win a copy of my new Kindergarten Morning Work pack:

Do you see all of those smiley faces? That's to make you feel better about all of the clicking. And it's also to make me feel less guilty about making you do all of that clicking.

I think a smiley face at the end of a text and also the words, "Just Saying" make up for anything. For example, when you want to give your opinion, but you're afraid people are not going to like your opinion, you can just go for it and then add, "Just Saying!" Or, if you're texting or writing a post, then you just add a :). I think it works like a charm.

Am I the only one who is afraid to give her opinion?

Alright. Bring on the day. Bring on the kiddos. Bring on the bladder control.

:) Just Saying.

So leave a comment and we'll announce a winner on Wednesday, January 9 by 7pm. :)

Congratulations on linking up to FB! I made a FB page but still trying to figure out how to link my blog up to it. Any suggestions on tutorials? Love you morning work packet--too bad I don't teach kindergarten. I taught kindergarten for 18 years and then they moved me to second grade.

Happy new year, Kristin! My favourite line in today's post.... "Bring on the bladder control"! Seriously!! I barely made it through the morning! Note to self, less coffee tomorrow. Love your work, as always! :)

I like both you and Hadar on FB! I'd love to win your awesome packs! I agree with your comments on smiley faces. I often leave them on my comments just as a way of saying hi or isn't life just great or hope you're having a great day...or whatever I'm thinking at the moment. And yes, I'm afraid of giving my opinion sometimes. ;o)

Congratulations on your FB page!! :) I'm sure you'll be great!! I (already) liked both of your pages before this email, so I think I'm good to go!! *Fingers crossed* that I win!! Otherwise, I'll be stopping at TPT on Wednesday after the winner is announced!! I NEED both of your & Hadar's packets! :)

I am soooo jealous you got three weeks off! Our school went from the year-round calendar back to traditional this year and I am having a very hard time getting back into the swing of things this week!

Anyway, just wanted to say that I stopped by and liked your new FB page (it looks great!) and Miss Kindergarten's as well! Oh and yes, I put :) at the end of almost everything I text... either that or an exclamation point!

You just make me smile. They have a great bachelor this season. Good luck to you and Hadar with your Facebook pages. Thanks to both of you for sharing your talents with fellow teachers.krissye@hotmail.com

Did the liking! I am a teacher to be in a Technical High School(labratory school) studying to become a teacher. I would really enjoy having something like this to help me further in my teaching career choice. Thanks!

I have to head home to like your facebook page...no facebook at school. I can't believe I am doing this at school anyway. I never check blogs at school...but I actually got the chance to sit down today and thought...I should do something...like write lesson plans. Then I thought I am too tired to do that...what can I do? Check my mail! My blogs come to my school mail (which may not be so good), and Hadar's popped up. Click click here I am.

I was thinking about doing the facebook thing...but I think that will take time to figure out. Soon. Can't wait to get home and check facebook!
